Before some cases of strokes, heart attacks, or myocarditis comes high blood pressure. A look into hypertension and the role of SARS-COV2 in elevated hypertension.
Thankyou for this great article. I am Covid-19 vax injured. My BP started to rise after my first Pfizer vax. After the second one in June 2021, I was diagnosed with Pericarditis and my BP is always in hypertension stage 1. When I’m walking slowly or doing pilates, it goes up into stage 2. I always have constant chest pain and shortness of breath and fatigue. I also have supraventricular tachycardia and occasionally paroxysmal hypertension which leads to syncope.
I’ve been on beta blockers (Bisoprolol) since my diagnosis over 16 months ago and this hasn’t lowered it. I’ve been put on two rounds of colchicine for the peri, but this hasn’t worked. I’ve started trialling hawthorn and increasing potassium and magnesium to see if this makes a difference because I still have another month to wait till I see a cardiologist to have a pacemaker inserted and the hospitals keep sending me home saying nothing is wrong, so I have stopped calling an ambulance now. All my friends and family who are vaxed all now have raised blood pressure and are on medications as well as myocarditis and pericarditis. One has had a myocardial infarction and another has hed two stents put in. This has caused an epidemic of heart disease.
I'm really sorry that happened to you! I hope you and your family are able to manage the situation, but it sounds like several of you are dealing with this issue which shouldn't have ever happened.
I think that hypertension is a lot more common than reported, and that's rather frustrating because of all the adverse reactions it's one that's likely to be identifiable with routine blood pressure measures, otherwise if it goes unnoticed it may mean that a ton of people are asymptomatic but may suffer a serious cardiovascular event at some point. That's why I think that many of these Died Suddenly cases aren't cases of dying suddenly, but of people with adverse reactions that weren't paid attention to or even considered for a majority of people.
I hope many people are raising awareness of this possibility, but I'm not sure even if it seems like something rather obvious to be honest.
I hope all goes well with you. I'm sorry so many people you know are having similar issues. Again, none of this should have happened if proper studies were done.
Great article! Ooooh, am I selfish in hoping you look at supplements or dietary tips to help hypertension :))But I do want to stress that I hop you enjoy all of your writing- I was sad to hear that some of your articles left you burnt out from all of the data you have to pore over. I can only imagine how frustrating that would be if then the data didn’t lead to a clear answer.
Sorry but another neophyte question. If the public were to get higher levels of hypertension and then were given diuretics as the main treatment- could that actually make things worse if the cause is the endothelial disorder caused by Lipid nanoparticles in the mRNa shots? I guess I’m wondering if - like in the opening days of the covid outbreak when they thought ventilators were the answer but ended up killing untold numbers- are they prescribing a medicine that is making this condition worse because they don’t acknowledge the underlying cause?
Thank you! I may try to cover it near the end by including management methods I come across if possible. I think the next post will focus on hypertension as an adverse reaction and just cover a bit about the management in a separate one. I just want to be a bit cautious in case people consider that post as being medical advice.
To the last point in the first paragraph that sort of happened with my microbiome post, and so I had to sort of pivot and eventually it became a post about the microbiome as it relates to SARS-COV2 and ARDS and sepsis. In most cases it can be tiring if you look at many papers and try to get information. I won't lie and say I have several windows each with several dozen tabs of papers that I try to look through so it can become very consuming to try to figure things out, and at the end of the day you can never figure out everything, or really most things so you have to stop at some point. 🤷♂️
To your second paragraph the LNPs would operate differently since they are acting as carrier agents with inflammatory properties. I've considered them to be a bit of a red herring as it's not exactly the LNPs that are causing many of these issues. They're more of a bystander helping move around the actual concerning agent in question (the mRNA). Now, that raises questions as to where the LNPs+mRNA end up, and that's been one of speculation.
I'm now leaning more towards a spike-centered hypothesis given what I've found, although it's likely the mRNAs and the LNPs all also help add to the overall issues. We don't know if the mRNAs degrade properly, or if they may the LNPs are being circulated all over, so those can't be taken off the table as it relates to adverse reactions.
Now, if the spike effect is widespread, it leans into the conundrum I raised above. Some antihypertensive medications, mostly the ACE inhibitors and the receptor blocking medications may upregulate ACEII expression. On one hand, one may argue that upregulation of ACEII expression may leave more places for free floating spike to bind. However, it's possible that ACEII upregulation may attenuate any ACEII downregulation caused by spike binding. If we argue that spike is continuously being released, we may argue that the effect may decline over time whereas with a SARS-COV2 infection the spike load would increase as the infection takes hold and becomes more severe. In that sense, antihypertensive medications may be able to outcompete the spike and help improve hypertension.
It's all a balancing act, and it would depend on if the hypertension is spike-driven. If the effects may be related somewhere else, such as with some dysfunction with the sympathetic nervous system then that sort of changes the dynamics. It depends on what is exactly going on within the body.
The problem with the ventilators was that they were trying to treat a symptom rather than a cause. They assumed that patients were losing oxygen and therefore intubated them without considering the underlying mechanisms. I think the use of mechanical ventilation was far too invasive, and at that stage of the disease patients may be too far in their disease to possibly help them as well. So one way to look at it is that patients should have been helped before they needed ventilation where by that time their chances become very slim. It's the same as why patients should have been left out of the hospital with early treatment.
In the annual NZ Health Survey, thousands of ‘random’ citizens gets their BP (and other basic factors) measured. I wonder what the changes might be in the next results published ?
Oh, that'd be interesting to find. I was hoping I would come across data about new blood pressure prescriptions to gain some inference but I came up empty. I only came across one study noting a steep decline in new diagnoses during the lockdowns in the UK, and I wonder if the lack of new diagnoses meant many people had uncontrolled hypertension and were at increased risk of severe COVID, which would have been a severe shame if true.
Puleeeze! See thru the newage medical mumbojumbo and see hypertension for what it is: a lifestyle and dietary issue with a genetic predisposition. It is not (as for every other disease in every book of pathology) caused by the lack of a drug.

Let that sink in.
